/**
 * <p>
 * An event class for reporting updates on a configuration object.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Event objects of this type are used for &quot;raw&quot; events, i.e. unfiltered modifications of any kind. A level
 * with semantically higher events (e.g. for property changes) may be built on top of this fundamental event mechanism.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Each event can contain the following data:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>A source object, which is usually the configuration object that was modified.</li>
 * <li>The event's type. This is an object that corresponds to constant declarations in specific event classes. It
 * describes what exactly has happened.</li>
 * <li>If available, the name of the property whose modification caused the event.</li>
 * <li>If available, the value of the property that caused this event.</li>
 * <li>A flag whether this event was generated before or after the update of the source configuration. A modification of
 * a configuration typically causes two events: one event before and one event after the modification is performed. This
 * allows event listeners to react at the correct point of time.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The following standard events are generated by typical configuration implementations (the constants for the event
 * types are defined in this class:
 * </p>
 * <dl>
 * <dt>ADD_PROPERTY</dt>
 * <dd>This event is triggered for each call of the {@code addProperty()} method of a configuration object. It contains
 * the name of the property, to which new data is added, and the value object that is added to this property (this may
 * be an array or a list if multiple values are added).</dd>
 * <dt>SET_PROPERTY</dt>
 * <dd>Calling the {@code setProperty()} method triggers this event. The event object stores the name of the affected
 * property and its new value.</dd>
 * <dt>CLEAR_PROPERTY</dt>
 * <dd>If a property is removed from a configuration (by calling the {@code clearProperty()} method), an event of this
 * type is fired. In this case the event object only stores the name of the removed property, the value is
 * <strong>null</strong>.</dd>
 * <dt>CLEAR</dt>
 * <dd>This event is fired when the whole configuration is cleared. The corresponding event object contains no
 * additional data.</dd>
 * </dl>
